PRAY 2016: LION TAMING 101

OREN 2016: DOMANDO AL LEON 101
This chapter ends with the story of Daniel and the Lion's Den, which stands as a reminder of the spiritual battle raging all around us. 1 Peter 5:8 describes the devil himself as a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. Satan has an army of supporters, whom he uses to do his will. In Daniel’s case, Satan used the governors and rulers who tried to trap and kill Daniel with a 30-day law forbidding prayer to any god, except the King.

Daniel refused to allow this law or its consequences to stop him from praying, As a result, he was arrested and thrown into the lions den, but that night, God sent an angel to shut the mouths of the lions, and miraculously delivered Daniel. Daniel didn’t pray because he was facing the lions den, but because he prayed, God delivered him from the lions den.

Daniel's story teaches us some very important truths about prayer that will release the power of God in our lives and the world today.
